Overview

  • Helcobacillus massiliensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 68.6%. Helcobacillus massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Renvoise2009)



  • This organism has been recovered from cutaneous discharge. It is an opportunistic pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
